The Exalted Commander Guide
Role: Artifact levelling — levels, triggers and positions artifacts for maximum power.
Availability: Unlocks at launch
Starter Perk: Divine Touch
Artifacts:Full artifact kit by commander
Kit Overview
Divine Touch triggers any artifact at Level 3 or below when it levels up. Launching a triple with your Base Dice also gives +10 XP to every artifact on the board — the kit is one machine for pushing artifact levels and cashing in on each level-up.
| Item | Rarity | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Dark Tower | Legendary artifact | After you score any triple, score the unit with the highest STR with +1 Repeat. |
| Golden Halo | Legendary artifact | Adjacent artifacts have "+1" to their number that scales. |
| Red Spice | Legendary artifact | When your turn ends, reduce the level of the artifact to the left of this by 2; if you did, multiply your Mult by x2. |
| Galactic Web | Uncommon artifact | Your Web units give +2 XP to the artifact in their column when scored; when your turn begins, spawn a Web on a random tile. |
| Broken Lens | Perk | Your pairs count as triples, but your Base Dice start cracked. |
| Broken Medal | Perk | Your Starter perk now works for artifacts at Level 4 or above. |
How The Exalted Plays
The Exalted treats artifacts as the win condition. Divine Touch means every level-up at Level 3 or below is also a trigger, triples shower the whole board in XP, and Broken Medal extends the loop to Level 4+. Positioning matters: Golden Halo buffs adjacent artifacts, Red Spice devours its left neighbor for a x2 Multi — board layout is the build.
Strategy Notes
- Take Broken Lens once your combo wants triples more than it fears cracked base dice — pairs counting as triples also feeds Divine Touch XP.
- Place Red Spice next to a low-value artifact you are willing to burn down for x2 Multi turns.
- Galactic Web spawns Webs every turn — leave room for them and route their scores through its column.
- Dark Tower converts any triple into a repeat-scored carry unit; pair it with STR stacking from other effects.
